What did this mobile detail include?

This August 11, 2021 job was a mobile detail on a daily-driver vehicle (steam-cleaned engine bay shown), booked as a Steam Clean Motor. Ricky Van of Unalike Detailing did it at the customer's home, with no shop visit. He brought the equipment. The customer supplied a hose and an outlet he could reach: if i can plug up i can pull up.

That is the whole setup for a mobile detail: no shop and no waiting room. Ricky parks where the car is, runs his pressure washer off the customer's water, plugs in where he can reach, and opens every door so the inside gets worked on right there at the curb.

What would this cost today?

Prices are the same in every city. For an SUV or van like this one, Wash n Vac is $65, a Full Detail is $300, and Steam Clean Motor is $70 on its own or +$70 on top of a detail. A Genesis Blue or Lavish Lemon air freshener is +$5 more. See what's included in each service.
